The mother of Andre Claudel died a year ago. His father was killed in the Argonne and Andre is so quiet, so serious, that he seems much more than ten years old. He is like a young old man in all he says and does. He is one of the best students at the refugee colony at Caen where he has lived ever since he was driven away from his home in Lorraine by the shells and poison gas of the Germans. His teacher says: "il travaille dans al perfection," his work is perfect. Sometime he will go back to Lorraine when the Boches have been driven out. He says: "I like the American soldiers. They have come to protect my country. And I like especially my Godfathers." They are the Army Field Clerks of Section ... General Staff. The American Red Cross administers the funds for the maintenance of all the children adopted by the American troops

These are all "Stars and Stripes" Children little French war orphans, adopted by American soldiers and sailors. They are proud of their lucky chance to be the wards of the Americans and if they are old enough to go to school they work specially so that their godfathers may be well satisfied with them. If they are too small to go to school, they keep busy "mascotting" as hard as they can for their "good godfathers." This photo shows the group of the "Stars and Stripesers" in the refugee colony at Caen. There, in an old Chateau built originally by William the Conqueror, they live in barracks like little soldiers, go to school, march and sing the soldier songs of fair Lorraine which is in their home. The Director of the Colony, M. Eugene Schmidt, who is standing in the center of the group, is himself from Lorraine. He has given his own son to France and he loves these fatherless children almost as if they were his own. He says: "tell those American men who have taken an interest in these little waifs of the great war that every heart in France is grateful to them." The A.R.C. administers the funds for the maintanence of all the children adopted by the American troops

A poster comes to life. The middle man in the poster looks at his image mounted on a wall at Allegheny-Ludlum Steel Corporation, wonders what the other two fellows are like, and where they are these days. George Woolslayer, thirty-two-year-old welder, was chosen as a model for this poster when an Office of War Information photographer visited the plant in the fall of 1941. His interest in the soldier and sailor prompted him to write OWI (Office of War Information) asking for information on the servicemen. Result: furloughs wer obtained for the two, who came to the steel mill and saw that "Men Working Together" is the formula by which American soldiers, sailors and workers will win this war.
